Letter to the editor: Our city plans to allow major commercial development along the south waterfront and, in so doing, to increase its tax revenue.
But, to succeed commercially, the development would inevitably create far more road traffic than the existing roads to the waterfront can handle, causing serious congestion. Providing enough roads or public transportation to the area would cost far more than the city could gain from the increased tax revenue.
Which of the following, if added to the city's plan, would be most likely to help solve the problem the letter describes?
Funding construction of new roads to the waterfront with a system of tolls on the new roads to the waterfront
Allowing residential development along the waterfront so that there will be waterfront residents who can walk to the commercial development
Giving tax breaks to developers of businesses along the waterfront to offset any tax levied on them for construction of roads or public transportation
Evaluating the net benefits that the commercial development would bring to the city in terms of improved quality of life for the city's residents rather than in financial terms
Allowing commercial development in other city neighborhoods whose roads are not seriously congested with traffic
如何解决cost＞revenue的问题：提高revenue或减少cost
问题不是在于如何减少congestion
如何改善这个问题？思路：
A选项（√）
Funding（拨款给） construction of new roads to the waterfront（修路） with a system of tolls（用￥过路费） on the new roads to the waterfront
通过对通往滨水区的新道路的收费系统￥，资助建设通往滨水区的新道路。→既可以减少拥堵，还能拿过路费tolls来补偿cost。（一箭双雕）
C选项（×）无关
Giving tax breaks （税收减免）to developers of businesses along the waterfront to offset any tax（抵税） levied on them for construction of roads or public transportation
为沿岸企业的开发商提供税收减免，以抵消对他们征收的道路或公共交通建设税。--不能解决拥堵，也没修路。
修路是是题感的fact.路是一定要修的，即使旁边小区的人能走路来。其他人照样还是要开车来的which causes congestion.
题目关键：traffic cost > tax revenue
choice a, 对新增的道路收过路费，用于这些道路的建设成本，correct
choice c, 对waterfront附近的开发商减免税的政策，来抵消因为建设交通系统对他们征收的税。irrelevant
再做一遍的时候虽然没有去查toll的意思，但是通过相关性排除了剩下的选项
toll 收费站

我觉得B的主要问题是与题目讨论无关，在建筑房子导致人们可以走路去，并不代表路的问题就可以解决，因为不住附近的人也可能会大量涌进来。这题应该主要关注路和钱两方面
我认为这题讨论的bug点在于Providing enough roads or public transportation to the area would cost far more than the city could gain from the increased tax revenue.如何解决收益成本问题，而不是去解决congestion的问题；
我开始也是这么想的。但是后来我就想偏了，觉得如果居民可以步行去 waterfront，那么压根就不会用拥堵，也不会修路，也不用有额外支出。
